Then it very much looks right now as if it is the scanner which is faulty.
Being mainly a perl guy, I know this tool which would tell you how the
Tomcat reacts : lwp-request
It is a perl command-line tool which allows to create and send a HTTP
request to a server, and see the returned answer in detail.
lwp-request --help will tell you all about it.
e.g.
# lwp-request -m PUT -Sed http://localhost:8180/some-url
Please enter content (text/plain) to be PUTed:
abcdef
^D
PUT http://localhost:8180/some-url --> 403 Forbidden

So, it does respond 403.
Mark was right. How does he know these things ?
